Luis Enrique wants Barcelona! PSG boss still dreaming of return to La Liga champions after he leaves French giants

  • Enrique’s enduring Barcelona dream

    Enrique remains hopeful of one day managing Barcelona again. The Spaniard spent three years at the Camp Nou between 2014 and 2017, winning a historic treble in his first season and cementing his place as a club legend. Despite being contracted to PSG until 2027, he has made it clear within his close circle that a return to Catalunya would delight him, according to Sport.

    Glory in Paris but eyes on Catalonia

    Since taking over Les Parisiens in 2023, the Asturian has guided the French giants to remarkable success, including their first-ever Champions League title last season. While he is settled in Paris and continues to build on that legacy, his attachment to the Catalan giants has not faded. He often admits to missing life in the city, though he has publicly stressed his commitment to honouring contracts.

  • Election year shifts the landscape

    Barcelona's looming presidential elections could open a potential pathway for Enrique’s return. Such changes often reshape the managerial landscape at Camp Nou, and the former Spain coach is well aware of this. Still, Hansi Flick’s strong start and a deal running until 2027 make any short-term comeback unlikely.
